Project description
 

The main goal of this project is to contribute to the prevention of male suicide, particularly by facilitating help-seeking behavior.  The project tries to achieve this by 1) identifying possible barriers to help and needs of men with regard to help (provision), 2) adapting existing methodologies to the needs of men or, if necessary, develop a new methodology and 3) develop tools for professionals to assist them in providing appropriate help to suicidal men.
